Blue Jays signed INF David Adams to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Adams slashed .294/.399/.391 this summer at Triple-A while appearing defensively at first base, second base, and third. The 28-year-old has been tearing it up in the Venezuelan Winter League, but it'll be a surprise if he is on the Jays' Opening Day roster next spring. Mon, Nov 23, 2015 11:13:00 AM

The 27-year-old spent the entire 2014 season in the minor leagues, slashing a combined .255/.326/.399 with nine homers and 48 RBI in 105 games between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk. He's nothing more than organizational depth in the infield for the Marlins. Sat, Feb 7, 2015 11:57:00 AM

He's now off the 40-man roster. Adams has hit only .214/.295/.371 at Triple-A this season. Sun, May 4, 2014 10:35:00 AM

Orioles optioned INF David Adams to Triple-A Norfolk.

Adams had himself a nice spring at the plate, slashing .281/.342/.313 with four RBI in 32 at-bats, but it wasn't enough to win him a spot in the Opening Day bench. The 26-year-old should get a chance as a utility man with the Orioles at some point during the season. Sun, Mar 23, 2014 07:26:00 PM

The 27-year-old spent the entire 2014 season in the minor leagues, slashing a combined .255/.326/.399 with nine homers and 48 RBI in 105 games between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk. He's nothing more than organizational depth in the infield for the Marlins.

Adams had himself a nice spring at the plate, slashing .281/.342/.313 with four RBI in 32 at-bats, but it wasn't enough to win him a spot in the Opening Day bench. The 26-year-old should get a chance as a utility man with the Orioles at some point during the season.

Adams was non-tendered earlier this month by the Yankees. The 26-year-old has always had trouble staying healthy and hit only .193/.252/.286 across 43 games with the Yankees this past season. He used to be a decent prospect, though, and will be on the Opening Day roster as a reserve infielder.

David Adams delivered a two-run double in the fourth inning on Friday, helping to lead the Yankees to a 3-2 victory over the Astros in Houston.

The crucial knock off Astros starter Brett Oberholtzer was his lone hit in four trips to the plate on the night. He has disappointed in his brief time with the Bombers this season, slashing just .194/.255/.276 with 13 RBI and a 38/9 K/BB ratio in 134 at-bats.

Adams will take the spot of the injured Luis Cruz (knee) on the active roster. The 26-year-old batted .190/.260/.276 in 35 games with the Yankees earlier this season and is unlikely to hold much fantasy value.

The move was made in order to clear a spot for Travis Ishikawa on the active roster. Adams started out hot with the Yanks, but he'll head down to the minors with a lousy .190/.260/.276 batting line in 35 games.

David Adams went 2-for-5 with two runs scored Friday against the Rays.

Adams has been a pleasant surprise as a stopgap option at third base for the Bombers, hitting .323 (10-for-31) with two homers, two doubles and three RBI in eight games. Keep running him out there in AL-only leagues, but Kevin Youkilis (back) appears on track to return from the disabled list late next week.

Blue Jays placed C Russell Martin on the 10-day disabled list with a left oblique strain.

The veteran backstop sustained the injury during Friday's game against the Pirates. The Jays will lean on the duo of Raffy Lopez and Michael Ohlman behind the dish until Miguel Montero is ready to return.

Travis has also been cleared for light jogging and told reporters after Tuesday's workout that he is "getting closer and closer every single day." The second baseman has been on the disabled list since early June following surgery to clear up cartilage damage in his right knee. He could be ready for major league action in a couple weeks if he's able to avoid setbacks.

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said that Troy Tulowitzki (ankle) should be healthy come spring training in 2018.

Tulowitzki sustained ligament damage in his right ankle near the end of July. He is expected to miss the remainder of the 2017 season, but barring offseason complications, it sounds like he should be a full-go for next spring.

Dalton Pompey (concussion, leg) has been pulled off his minor league rehab assignment.

Pompey batted .143/.172/.250 in eight rehab games between High-A Dunedin and Triple-A Buffalo just before the MLB All-Star break. He hasn't played anywhere in the last 10 days, and there is no clear timetable for his return to live action. The 24-year-old outfielder has been on the major league disabled list all season after suffering a serious head injury in the 2017 World Baseball Classic.

"That's all I can tell you," said Gibbons. "Hopefully he makes it back. We'll see." Sanchez has battled blister issues for much of the 2017 season and there's some chatter that he could be shut down for the remainder of the year. He owns a rough 1-3 record, 4.25 ERA, and 1.72 WHIP over just eight starts.
